Chris was very excited to go! He has been very "pumped" about joining the Navy (he is actually in the Navy Reserves as he will be going to Western Washington - but might be eligible for a ROTC scholarship. If he gets that, it will change everything. He will not be able to go to Western and would have to actually "drop out of" the Navy Reserves and join the regular Navy. We will have to see if that happens). Anyway, he is very excited but a little nervous as well. His goal is to try out for the Navy SEALs in 4 years when he finishes college so he is really into the PT.
Well, I am still at work and my family is waiting for me at home, so going to have to run. Will write more a bit later.

As a parent of a sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what your son is going through. Thanks to one of our members we have two excellent videos that you can access from the Video area on the NavyDads.com main page: New Bootcamp 1 of 2 and New Bootcamp 2 of 2. These videos will answer many of your questions and concerns and will give you a better understanding of how the United States Navy transforms our children into sailors!
Be sure to spend some time in the Bootcamp group- there are many questions and answers available to help you understand what your sailor is going through. And as PIR draws closer, be sure to spend some time going through the PIR-Tips, Hints and Helps group- we’ve tried to assemble some tips and suggestions to make your sailor's PIR more enjoyable. Best Regards- Paul
We are "neighbors". We live in Sammamish, WA. My son just left for boot camp. How is Emerson liking the Navy?

I'm so glad to have the Navy Moms on here to keep us men in line. My son is an ABE aboard the USS Ronald Reagan in San Diego, Ca. and my family and I couldn't be prouder of him. When he first enlisted I found NavyForMoms in searching for answers to my son's future. I just knew their had to be a site for dads like n4m's but I was wrong. So I started this site so us dads would also have a place to call home. We have many moms on the site and benefit greatly from their point of views and we are willing to help the moms in any way we can. So jump right in share concerns, join groups, share info, and show off your sailor. I hope this site benefits you and your family throughout your sons journey in the Navy. Thank Emerson for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, EG
